Iran’s Terrain and Tradition - From Peaks to Plates

Iran, located in Southwest Asia, borders Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and the Caspian Sea to the north, with Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east, and the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman to the south. Its diverse terrain features rugged mountain ranges, including the Alborz and Zagros Mountains, with Mount Damavand as the highest peak and tallest volcano in Asia. The climate varies from arid to subtropical, with extreme temperatures in interior deserts like Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut. These deserts are among the hottest and driest regions globally, highlighting Iran’s dramatic climatic contrasts.
